What Miami Dolphins coach Adam Gase said Monday

DAVIE–It’s a hectic day for the Miami Dolphins. Not only are they getting into their first practice for the season opener against Tampa Bay, but they’ve got a list of roster moves to smooth out and they’re watching the projected path of Hurricane Irma.

With all of that going on, here’s what coach Adam Gase said this morning:

— Linebacker Rey Maualuga is practicing today, but no decision has been made regarding his playing status for Sunday.

— The Dolphins have not picked a starting cornerback out of Byron Maxwell and Alterraun Verner. They also haven’t decided between Jordan Phillips and Davon Godchaux at defensive tackle.

— Anthony Steen will start at left guard over Jesse Davis.

— There’s minimal conversation among the coaching staff about playing the game on a different date or at a different location because of the hurricane threat. Gase says they’ll play whenever and wherever they’re told.

— Jay Cutler, now four weeks into his time with the Dolphins, is fully ready and completely back to game shape.

— Regarding the team’s move to cut kicker Andrew Franks and sign Cody Parkey, Gase said it was simply a matter of evaluating Parkey to be the better of the two.
